	The threat of an Immortal rush!!! Got spare money?

Trip has told me that he thinks it is possible that CDG can have 8-9 Immortals; half of them Vet, at Mingapulcos steps in 27 turns.

I would like to see a plan come together to deal with this scenario. Whether by connecting the Iron, building Archer's, changing all current production to military (Barracks and units), ect...

I want to see some ideas on this.

I wouldn't be too worried.

Cities 2 tiles apart (i.e. city-tile-tile-city), all you need is 4 swordsmen and say, 3 mercs in each city. Cities connected by roads.

Immortal stack approaches, move the 4 swordsmen to the city being apporached. If CDG is planning a city assault, you wait till the Immortals are next to the city and counterattack with swordsmen. They will most likely lose 3, hopefully 4 immortals, thats 1/2-1/3 their strength.

They attack the city with their remaining 6 immortals, will probably lose 3 agains the Mercs. Even if all mercs are destroyed, you still have the swordsmen for another counterattack.

If they plan on a pillaging assault it's even easier. No matter what tile they are on, they will be adjacent to a city and the swordsmen can strike from that safety.

3-tile city placement rules

No rush Trip, this wasn't an order or a demand; I'd just like to know what's happening in that head of yours.

The MoI should comment too, though he'll be gone for a few days yet.

Why would CDG attack us when CGA is right on their doorstep already? I agree we shouldn't let our guard down, but realistically, why would they go through jungle to attack mercs? If they try it, we just tell CGA what they are doing and have them attack CDG in the rear.

Unless they ally against us, which happens to be the worst-case scenario and the one we are most trying to avoid.

Exactly, MZ! Lets keep our guard up. Other teams may feel that Apolyton is the team to beat, so forming an Alliance to take us out is not too far fetched; especially if they heard that I was on this team!
